4.0.6 upgrade question

Before you start the Quality Management application upgrade, run statistics to update the database tables. Otherwise, the migration might take several hours.

The following tables must contain up-to-date database statistics:

  • REPOSITORY.ITEM_STATES
  • REPOSITORY.ITEM_CURRENTS
  • REPOSITORY.ITEM_TYPES
  • LINKS.AUDITABLE_LINK

I chose derby as the database...does this apply?

Sterling,

as Derby is only meant to be used for testing and demo purposes, I would assume your DB is really small and it should not matter. I agree it is a bit confusing, because no DB vendor is specified. I could not easily find a database statistics command for derby.

There is more information on this topic in "http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/r_repotools_onlineMigrate.html".
This is part of the overall QM online migration topic "http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.doc/topics/c_online_mig_rqm.html".

The means for updating table statistics would be familiar to a DBA. For instance, RUNSTATS on a DB2 database.
This really only applies for repositories with a large volume of manual tests. A non-production Derby DB would not really benefit from the updated stats since this is targeted at existing enterprise deployments of QM.

Thanks John,

So this is a documentation issue? As your links look to be related to online migration, and I have not chosen that for my instructions:
